GE Security is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the PXNplus CPU board and the M3000 enclosure. The PXNplus utilizes the latest technology available, like a ucLinux operating system and standard Ethernet connectivity. The PXNplus CPU board is also a demonstration of GE Security’s commitment to our installed base of customers. It provides existing M5 (formerly known as Micro/5) and M2000 (formally known as Micro/PX-2000) customers with a vastly improved controller technology that installs by sliding out the old CPU board and replacing it with the new PXNplus CPU. This is done at an upgrade price, without disruption of the previously installed infrastructure.

This is the third generation of CPU boards that have been made available to M5 customers. The M5 was initially release in 1992, supporting up to 8 readers with the E and P versions of the CPU board. The 2nd generation of CPUs (the PX and PXN) became available in 1996 and 1997. These CPUs improved performance to support up to 16 readers and became the first networked-based access control panel (PXN). Dan Smytka, Vice President & GM, Engineered Systems, GE Security said, “GE is unique in the security industry in our level of commitment to protect the customer’s initial investment in access control hardware. Also, the PXNplus CPU board is a tremendous platform for new customers starting access control installations.”

Features & Benefits

PXNplus CPU

• The PXNplus includes full feature support of Secure Perfect 6.1.1 or Picture Perfect 2.0 or higher
• The PXNplus controller makes real-time decisions granting or denying access, alarm point monitoring, and output control
• The PXNplus has multiple communications capabilities, including both serial and Ethernet communications support; in addition, an optional dialup modem can be added in the field to the PXNplus CPU board which can be used as a primary communications channel, or as a secondary communications channel in case the Ethernet network fails
• The PXNplus is compliant with many IT standards including DHCP and Dynamic DNS; DHCP support frees IT professionals from managing unique static IP addresses; Dynamic DNS allows the PXNplus controllers to operate without intervention during network re-configurations
• The PXNplus operating system includes a Web server, which is utilized to serve the configuration and diagnostic pages to installers and maintenance technicians; if the PXNplus controller is network attached, then its Web pages can be viewed remotely, greatly improving the speed and effectiveness of remote diagnostics
• Only the PXNplus supports the new 64-bit Wiegand BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) reader output format that complies with US Government FIPS 201 requirements, not supported by the previous CPUs
• The PXNplus controller has been designed to operate, even in the event of a multiple failure scenario; the failures involve loss of power to the controller, and loss of communications to the host server
• The PXNplus CPU is FCC, CE and UL 294/1076 listed

Enclosures

General

• The enclosures are used to protect the CPU controller, reader processor and input and output option boards
• All M-Series enclosures are constructed of steel, have keylocks and tamper switches
• Field wiring attaches to boards via pluggable connectors, which save time and money and reduce errors during maintenance

• Five open slots for reader processor boards (2RP, 2SRP, 8RP) and input/output option boards (20DI, 16DO, 16DOR)
• Devices in the M5 enclosure are powered by an external power supply (battery backup is recommended; see part number: 300377001)

• Fixed configuration of reader inputs, alarm inputs and outputs
• 4 Supervised readers can be supported
• 10 Supervised alarm inputs are supported
• 8 relay outputs are provided
• The standard PXNplus CPU board is used with this fixed I/O configuration
• An external power transformer is supplied with the enclosure to power the devices inside the enclosure; a 7 Amp/hr jell cell battery is also supplied with the enclosure

• The M3000 is a larger enclosure than the M5, making it easier for installers to route and dress field wiring
• The M3000 has five open slots for reader processor boards (2RP, 2SRP, 8RP) and input/output option boards (20DI, 16DO, 16DOR)
• The M3000 includes a 90/230 VAC power supply with 7 Amp/hr jell cell battery
• The M3000 enclosure has an optional rack mounting kit that allows the M3000 to be mounted in a standard 19" EIA communications rack; the M3000 will occupy a space of 9U
• This enclosure is pending UL certification
